Carlo Brunelli's life was an eventful one from the moment he was apprenticed to the Florentine goldsmith, for shortly afterwards he was forced to flee from his native city. Rome brought even greater adventure to this struggling artist. Held as prisoner by the Prince of Monluc, Carlo knew that when the last jewel was sewn in its hiding place, his life would be sacrificed unless he could miraculously escape.
As a master with his own workshop in Rome, Carlo's life was fraught with even greater adventure. In casting the famous Mercury for Spini, would the molten metal flow into the upraised arm? Would the supporting foot be whole, or would his entire work be lost?
You will enjoy the stirring story of how this young artist of the Renaissance finally won for himself coveted honors in his native Florence.
